[Cryptography-dev] Deprecating legacy symmetric algorithms

2022-01-19 Thread Paul Kehrer
Hi all, cryptography currently ships numerous legacy symmetric algorithms that, anecdotally, have very low use. These algorithms have a variety of security drawbacks when compared to more modern equivalents (namely AES or ChaCha20) and generally shouldn't be used. We plan to deprecate them on a lo
